SILVER Cry is enjoying a sensa
tion which involves all Of Grant
County, and may ramify further.
The other day the banking house
oi Meredith e Silman fuiied. -
That was the first circumstance.
The second was the fact that Mer-
edith was and is Treasurer of the
County Of Grant The Messllla
Democrat endeavors to explain
the position as follows
"The county commissioners
have asked him for the money,
which he is very naturally unable
TO produce, and he has been re-
quested to resign, which he has
emphatically refused TO do. He
has been asked to furnish addi-
tional bondsmen, which he cannot
do, and the commissioners have
sought to sue him and his bonds
men, which they learn, upon the
advice of counsel learned in the
law, they cannot do. So here is
pretty kettle of fish, and the county
bait box empty. Mr. Meredith on
top and everybody damuing the
lawmakers. The county's claim is
for some SIC, 900 or $4,000, and
the scounty is, by the terms OF
the assignment, a preferred cred
itor The liability to the county,
however, is an individual liability,
and the preference out OF partner
ship assets of such liability is q
matter concerning which the com
mon creditors are seeking advice"

Government. The Popeshad bet

will stand a good deal from him,
but when he becomes the ally of

treads on dangerous ground, and
the people will resent such action,
and politely but firmly request His
Holiness TO keep his Shands off.

MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Tomorrow will be a dual Sab
bath-It will be both Christmas
and Sunday, the memorial day of
the birth Of Christ, and a day SET
apart as one OF Christian observ-
ance.
Each day has a blessed, holy
significance. Sunday will never
cease carrying with it, remembran-
ces OF the past-of the days when
our mothers took our little hands
and led us to :he sanctuary. It's
recurrence reminds us OF the days
when
The Sabbath morn arose in light,
Scattering the clouds of env.ouS night;
The storm afar hal led away
Before the world saw break of dar:
And now the old church befry rees
Under the threb Of deafning pesls
The pRrson and the cnoir have come,
And preparations busy hum
For praise and prayer around begin
The aged TO soothe, the young to win.
The opening psalm, in quaint old
rhvmos,
Was sung as in ancestral times:
Praises came first for mercies given,
Thea prayers to draw down more from
heaven"
Christmas comes to us each year
laGen with blessed remembrances
OF little eyes refusing to close
from very anxiety for the opening
of Christmas morn-of little feet
stepping out upon the cold cham.
Der floor at peep OF day, and little
h%ads reaching up for little stock
iu4s. and little hearts pumping
inyons blood as the gifts Of Santa
Claus wcrc revealed. the recipients
innocent of the innocent docep
tion played upon them by thell
LOVING parents. No, the memory
ot Christmas days will never pas.
while it's thone exists.
Then the day is a meet one
on winch friends can gather
around the festive board, to eat,
drink and be merry" 1t is not 6
day on which the visage should be
gathered by scowls, but rather 1T
up with smiles, for the Scripture,
inform rs, that at the birth o
Jesus, the heavenly host bursr
with song, and heaven and eartl
resounded with the musical ac
claim, "Glory to God IN the high
est, and on earth peace, good vii
toward men"
Moore, the Irish poet and phil
osopher, might have made appl'
cation to Christmas of the follow
ing lovely and love lines, but W,
will do it for him:
Come, chase that startling tear away
Ere mine to meet it springs;
Tonight, at least, tonight be gay,
Nhate'cre to morrow brings,
Like sunset CLEANS that linger late
When all Is dark ming fast,
Are hours like these we snatch from fate
The brightest and the last.
ITO gid the deep'ning gloom Of Heave
But enc bright hour allow,
Oh, think that one bright hour is give
In all it's splendor now.
Let's live it out--then sink in night,
Like waves that from the shore
One minute swell, are touched with ligh
Then lost forevermore
Yes, tomorrow will be BOT
/ Christmas and Sunday. Let us a
mbend, throw off ali stiffness an
reserve, and while deyoutly than
ing God for His mercies, open d
hearts to our neighbors, shal
each by the hand, and without +
serve, all give voice to the sor

can bump a stump, spend every
cent You can spare in presents for
them, borrow enough to go out
and plow up the town with the
boys.
A man don't need presents. He
can wear bull whacker's last
years hat, or silk tile and be Just
as happy. He can have much
fun and be as good a man and in
telligent q citizen in his shirt
sleeves as he can in dress coat
and patent feathers.
He's generally a mentally en-
dowed brute his wife heaven
sent companion who generally
loves hlm too much, and he, her
too little.
So don't mind your big, burly
self, but go out into the woOd-shed
and hold an executive session with
yourself and see if you cant think
of something that'll make your
wife and kids happy,
Let the young hopeful who is
basking on the sunny side OF some
sweet glgl, just go broke on pres
ents for her, Git the old folks don't
kick and make her think that
your love for her is biger'n Baxter
mountain, and that when it comes
to her, there's no such thing as
economy about you.
If there's any poor devil with
out wife, children, or sweetheart
Except me) he'd better move to
some place where he can catch on
before another year rolls by.
IT upon the other hand, there is
some poor, God-torsaken wretch
who teels that to hope were idle
and that nc sweet woman could
be found to link fortunes wit him,
let him crawl in some hole and
pull 1t in after him
There are few (must get a place
for myself somewhere, J who, have
no fixed place who want to love
all mankind, but mankind won't

eryOne, but can trust no one; who
want to sea little, having seen too
much who would like to do won-
ders, but can't build with pebbles :;
who hnger in the hope that some

have no patience with them,
but how a fellow can get rid Of
himself, science nor psychology
have yet pointed out.
And so to repeat the strain of
my desultory and perlunctory let
ter, l urge upon all of you to make
others happy at this, the happiest
time of all the year and be happy
yourself. Don't be afraid to shew
it: throw around like scattering
corn to chickens give it away
like chat, and forget all trouble
and tribulahon in the happiness OF
the moment.
God bless you.

A METEOR FALLEN.

men had wider reputation than
| Kalloch. When a young man, he
was pastor of church in Boston,
and SO gifted was he as pulpit
orator. that he attracted all denom-
nations to hearings. In 1895, he
had trollc with one of the lady
members of his flock, which becom
ing public, he was arraigned be-
fore a church tribunal and proven
guilty. Before sentence could be
pronounced, he hied himself to
Kansas, and arrived at Lawrence
early one morning in early 1856.
He 1lAttered himself that he had
reached a point SO distant that the
iavelins of his enemies could not
reach him, and in the New West,
he would carve another reputation
equal to the one that he had so
toolishly sacrificed. With these
thoughts matEred, after breakfast
he entered the saloon attached TO
the hotel he was stopping at there,
to treat himself and resolution to a
cigar, when his eyes fell upon a
handbill announcing that 1.-THE
celebrated Stallion, |. S. Kalloch"
etc. "Great God ~ he aspirated,
"my reputation has preceded me-"
lie then buckled down to neWspa-
per work in winch his genius shone
resplendant. But he tired of it,
and again embraced the ministry,
and female members Of his church,
until Kansas became too hot for
him, and lie migrated to Calitor-
MA. In San Francisco, he engaged
in preaching religion and politics,
was elected Mayor, was shot, and
had many adventures. But, while
his talent was admired, even his
friends were forced to admit that
honesty was not component part
Of his makeup. Not that he
idn't paw his debts, in that re-
spect he was honest, but his utter
ances, religious. or political, were
not honest but demagogic.
We knew him well. He was a
kind, sympathetic fellow, one Of
infinite Jest" but he was want
ing in the prime element consti
mting true manhood, sincerity.
Few brighter ntellects ever daz
zled, scarcely any ever went ont.
Ills presence was a poem, his
words poetry and his voice,
music. Had he used his great tai
ents in the proper direction, hi;
death would be mourned by every
lover Of genids. But he was no
built that way, and whether tC
blame mm or sympathise with him
WAS, during his lifetime an enigma
which even his death cannot solve
nor any postmortem de etermine.

A sensation has been caused in
Sacramento by the filing of a com
plant in the Court by which lob
best alleges that he paid out I sum
total of $3.50 to various members
for their votes, and wants the
money refunded by the party for
whom he did the work. He gives a
list of the men whom he paid the
money. and the prices range from
$50 to $500. They average about
$3.50 apiece
1t will thus be seen that notwith-

differ materially from schedule

am able to judge, we are thinking
at the present time. and the
people of Scotland are thinking, of
other subjects. which are regarded,

and immediate duty thar the de-
termination of a very much cont-o-
verted question, which, as 1 have
said before, | believe the people Of
Scotland will find themselves per-
fectly sufficient to determine, and
IN a manner which the rest of the
empire will respect, whether the
answer be aye or nay. 1t is not
within my knowledge, certainly,
that the consideration of that ques-
ton has entered definitely into the
concerns of the present elections,
and therefore / do not feel my own
information or means of judgment
about it at all augmented in the
course of it by anything that has
reached me-
His audience is now trying to fig
ure how he stands on the subject,
with no definite results. All agree.
